Lesion homogeneity on diffusion-weighted imaging is a marker of outcome in acute ischemic stroke

Abstract Background and purpose MRI Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) lesion volume, pattern, and location have all been used to predict outcome of acute ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that homogeneity within the DWI lesion may also be associated with outcome. Methods Brain MRI including DWI was pe...
